Who Announce Non H5N1 Pandemic In 2030

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director, invoked the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing Wednesday, declining to answer questions about the origins of COVID and the government's pandemic response after being subpoenaed by committee Chairman Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky).

Rand Paul (R-Ky).

Fauci stated in his opening remarks that he had testified before or briefed congressional committees more than 200 times during his nearly 40 years leading the NIAID, but said he would not answer questions on Paul's advice.

Paul warned Fauci there would be "repercussions" for his refusal to testify, citing a federal law against obstructing a congressional investigation. Fauci, who received a preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden, said Paul's goal was to get him to say something that could lead to his prosecution.

Fauci's attorney, David Schertler, was escorted from the hearing room by a Capitol Police officer after repeatedly attempting to interject during Paul's questioning. Paul said attorneys were permitted in the room but not to speak or sit at the witness table.

Paul's questioning focused on gain-of-function research, NIH-funded studies in Wuhan, China, and the lab leak theory. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Fox News that his staff retrieved <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/senator-paul-releases-fauci-diary-entries">Fauci's pandemic-era diary</a> from the department's servers and provided it to Paul.

Democratic senators used their allotted time to defend Fauci and criticize cuts to public health agencies, while Republican senators, including Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), called Fauci "a villain." Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan (D-Mich.) said the hearing would deter scientific experts from public service.

Fauci invoking the Fifth was a justified move given Sen. Paul's relentless campaign to manufacture a criminal case against him. Paul's release of Fauci's unredacted personal diary made clear this hearing was never about oversight — it was a political ambush. Decades of cooperation with Congress shouldn't be rewarded with a witch hunt.

A presidential pardon strips away Fifth Amendment protections, so Fauci's refusal to testify is legally indefensible and amounts to contempt of Congress. Bad calls on masks, lab leak denials and pushing destructive lockdown policies demand real accountability. Hiding behind a constitutional right that no longer applies is an admission.
